Frequently asked questions about bet.dot
As a fintech founder, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Does bet.dot need a CAA record for SSL?
A CAA record on bet.dot restricts which certificate authorities may issue certs for it, adding a layer of security. It's optional but recommended; list the CA you use (e.g. letsencrypt.org) for bet.dot. Add the CAA record in DNS before requesting new certificates.
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for fraud prevention?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Why is an SMD more secure than just emailing my trademark certificate for bet.dot?
An SMD is cryptographically signed by the TMCH, so NicNames can verify it automatically without manually inspecting a certificate when granting priority on bet.dot. A loose certificate could be forged or mistyped; the signed SMD cannot. That is why bet.dot priority relies on the SMD. Submit yours at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY already open to everyone for payroll disbursements?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
